Meeting with CC “debatable”

John Shea checks in from behind a potted palm in the lobby of the Bellagio Hotel:

Brian Sabean isn’t ruling out a meeting in the near future with CC Sabathia and/or his agents. “We’ll see,” the Giants’ GM said tonight. “It’s debatable.”

Informed that Sabathia ran into Dodgers GM Ned Colletti at the Bellagio and told him he wants to be a Dodger, Sabean quipped, “I guess he wants to be a Dodger. If he bumped into (someone from) Anaheim, he wants to be an Angel.”

And if he came across a Giants official?

“He wants to be a Giant,” Sabean said. “That’s what it means.”

The Giants still aren’t ruling out a run at Sabathia, though it’s unlikely any offer would come close to the Yankees’ $140 million.

On the other hand, new managing general partner Bill Neukom — who’s in Las Vegas with prez Larry Baer — said he’s not eager to make a splash with a mega free-agent signing.

“I’m here to build a business, not to make a splash,” said Neukom, adding the plan is “winning baseball soon and contending and staying there, mostly with home-grown talent. We want to let these kids show their stuff.”
